Library Gardens Renewal

It was envisaged that the area surrounding the Irving K. Barber Learning Centre be as vibrant and active a learning environment as the Learning Centre itself. The outside space was programmed in a similar fashion to the Learning Centre and improves the traffic flow between the Learning Centre and Koerner Library while providing space for a wide variety of activities including group learning, performing arts and public lectures. Phase I of this project included a rebuilding and enhancement of the pedestrian walkway joining Agricultural Road, the heritage core entrance into the Irvin K Barber Learning Centre, the Buck fountain and Memorial Road.
